The Providence school board just eviscerated the union contract so they can fire the most experienced (and most expensive) teachers at the end of the school year — instead of laying them off....
On the one hand the D's (or at least the Obama) saying we need better education for the kiddies if we want to keep up with the rest of the world, and on the other hand the R's saying we need to fire all the teachers and get fewer, cheaper ones. Many of these R's, by the way, are the exact same R's who only a couple of years ago were insisting the only way to get good people on Wall Street was to pay them more money, not less, but never mind. We don't expect the R's to make sense any more.
We don't have very high standards for D's either, but that's another thing. The D's are at least mostly about building things. The R's are mostly about tearing things apart, which is easier.
